Limited Offer at Digital Point forums: Get LINKS from 5,000 quality websites for FREE!

I have been checking a new site that offers Website and Blog promotion services: tnx.net. It sounds pretty interesting. They offer you ways to promote your Website or Blog through links.

TNX.net offers a program for both Advertisers and Publishers in which they state:

Advertisers can build links on related Sites or Blogs that will help you increase your rankings on Search Engines, receive targeted traffic from relevant sites at low prices and create and manage your own campaigns through an easy to use interface.

Publishers will be able to sell links on every page of their site automatically to many advertisers, receive payouts every month and install the code on your site very easily (copy-paste method).

Due to the recent launch of TNX-worldwide version, they are giving away up to 5,000 points that you can use to buy links from up to 5,000 websites, when you join their program.

So I went to Digital Point forums where they have the offer of free text link ads and checked the comments others have left about the site’s offer, it seems they are pretty serious about it.

Then I joined their network and created my own account as an advertiser and a publisher and got my free 5,000 points on the next day accredited to my account. Installed a publisher code on my site and created my own ad campaign with the 5000 bonus points I received for joining their program. I’m waiting for my campaign approval.

They also offer an affiliate program, it’s a way of sending them quality traffic and earn some extra money with your site. I’m thinking of joining their affiliate program also, I’m just waiting to see how it goes with the campaign I created on their site.

As Website and Blog owners, we’re always looking for ways to promote our sites effectively at low costs and make money. So check the site, you never know, it might be a good way for you to promote your site or make some extra money. As always we advise, read carefully and thoroughly the site’s information.

The idea is that you set up your own Blog or Website and start building original and quality content related to a specific subject. For instance SEO Practices Blog is about Search Engine Optimization Practices for SEO beginners who want to learn about the subject, once I get to build some good content on the Blog, I can start putting ads on it and get paid every time some one clicks on them (get paid per click), one of these programs is Google AdSense. I might start doing it in the near future.

AdSense is an advertising program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text and image advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on a per-click basis. Google utilizes its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user’s geographical location, and other factors.

AdSense is a good way to start practicing Search Engine Optimization and Marketing, because you have to start applying all its basic concepts, while you get the chance to start earning some money.

Basic Steps to Start with AdSense:

1. Sign Up for an Account, it’s very easy just click the link and follow the steps below for guidance: Earn Money from relevant ads on your Website or Blog.

2. Account Type is the first form section to fill, it is self explanatory, simply choose individual or Business Account which ever suits you. Then Select your country.

3. Website Information section asks you to input the URL of your Website which you will primarily use with Google’s AdSense, then you select the language of your Website.

4. Product Selection section asks you to choose which type of content you want to deliver onto your website; you should check both: AdSense Content enables you to put Ads (text+image) and AdSense Search lets you have a search box powered by Google, on which you can also earn money when anyone searches from there and then clicks on a link.

5. Contact Information section is very simple just fill everything accurately especially the Payee Name box (Payee has to be greater then 18 years to participate in this program).

6. Login Information section doesn’t require any explanation either.

7. Finally copy and paste in the code into your site, which is provided by Google.

And this will be all for the registration process. After completing the required information you can carry on with FAQ of Google they have a very comprehensive guide.

I found a Free PDF Guide to Google AdSense. Check it out; it will take you through the basic steps of the program.
